Step off the kitchen stoep into a generous vegetable garden — tomatoes, herbs, and seasonal greens ready to pick. It’s a small pleasure that somehow makes the whole meal taste better.
The kitchen is fully equipped for long, unhurried dinners. Bring your own wine or pick up something local on the way in.
Bring mountain bikes to enjoy the quiet back roads – a short drive down the dirt track puts you on the wild sands of Walker Bay.
You could spend days without leaving the property. But when you’re ready, one of the Western Cape’s richest stretches of countryside is right outside the gate.
Stroll Queen Victoria Street for antiques, local art, and curiosities. Craft beer, wine at Stanford Hills, and gin from the local distillery — all within minutes.
Restaurants, whale-watching cliffs, and the Old Harbour. The best land-based whale watching in the world, in season from June to November.
Wild, open beaches and the ancient Klipgat Caves. One of the most significant archaeological sites in southern Africa, set above a remarkable stretch of coastline.
